Pros
- Looks
- Handling
- Future classic
Cons
- Water pump requires replacing every few years
- Seat clips fail
- Nothing else!!! It’s awesome.
Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it?
Yes
The usual water pump issue.
Struggling to think of anything else... Er, okay, the sport seat clips wear on the side panels.
Servicing costs at Audi are insanely priced, so I highly recommend not bothering taking it to them once out of warranty. Other than that… perfection!
Have you had to make any warranty claims?
No
Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership?
Yes
Audi services are an utter rort.
Waited until the warranty was up, then took it to a Euro specialist.
Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far?
Yes
Handles insanely for the price point. Cornering is off the charts.
James’s experience with the 2015 Audi TT null
The car handles incredibly for the price. Looks insanely amazing. A future classic.
Running costs are low. I’m getting 6.0L/100km on highways.
Yes, the water pump has the usual issues. The sports seats can come apart on the sides, but nothing noticeable.
I highly recommend getting your hands on one of these before prices start to climb.
If you do make a move on an Audi TT S Line, ensure you choose the Quattro.
Great for couples with no kids; however, the boot space is incredible… especially when the seats are down.
The paint and finish are incredible compared to other VW Group products.
An utter weapon, leaves jaws open for those who call it a hairdresser's car.
Hats off to Audi, which kept this FV variant running until ceasing production. This car will be one for the history books with its Bauer styling, never to be repeated. Go on, do yourself a favour!
What’s your car really like to live with?
